Hay, im Rob iv just moved over to the UK from NZ. Iv been into rotas for ages now and have built afew for my self and customers. Im thinking of doing another one while im over here but it will be for strip use only so im just wanting to no what the fastest times are for N/A 13b\'s and 12a\'s in the UK. Also if any ones got any custom fab work they need doin and there in the Banbury area id be keen to hook them up.
Hi Rob and welcome to MRC,
We have not kept a record of fastest times for N/A 12A etc but I\'m sure members will give you an idea but please don\'t look for equivalent times from your homeland :2Confused
If you look at the top left of the front page you will see a basic events list for MRC with more to follow, with our jewel in the crown being Rotorstock 8 which is by far the largest event of its type in Europe
Stick Rotorstock in youtube and you will get an idea of what its all about
IIRC the fastest N/A times are hald by Carl for his PP engined 1st gen (the 20B version) or - possibly by Lindops 13B-PP escort.
:wave
Sweet ill def be going to Rotorstock that looks like it\'ll be a mean day.
hi rob ,
i will dig out the time for our 13b pp escort ,
p.s our engine builder is from nz , if your work is a good as his , we better look out
;-)

Bro - no offense to rotorstock, but it aint mean like south island champs, or meremere friday night drags, let alone the crowning glory of jambo in QLD. But, there are rotors there and given there is pretty slim pickings in the UK in general for this type of event its worth a gander - i\'ll be going next year and I might even have a car going!
I got no clue on the fastest NA, but any sub 1000kg car (will have to be a hybrid/conversion or FB due to scarcity) with a well sorted chassis and 13b BP with all the goodies and you will be up there.
Good luck!

Carls 20B is not the fastest NA he is probably 4th , I think Lindops and the caterham style car with the rotary in the 13s hold that honour with oldones Rx2 following closely with a near 14 second dead pass
Me at 13.4 and more to come. I know I said before i will not go down the strip again as I think its a waste of cash compared to the racing I normally do........however I do have rotorstock penciled in the diary for my westfield which is not a caterham:chat
But I have heard of a n/a 12a doing an 11(i think could be wrong might have been a 12) many many years ago)
Cheers
Brian
It looks alittle different now as there have been some "upgrades"
